Not all statements by the pope are regarded as infallible by Catholics. In fact, invoking infallibility is very rare. However Leo’s statements on the Iran War are very clearly in line with Catholic doctrine.

That’s why it’s in the negative positive quadrant. Low desire to die, high risk of dying (at least in my city)

Yes this was the point of the meme. I feel like dying in an airplane, but it is very unlikely that anything fatal will happen. I also feel like dying while driving through suburban traffic, and there the odds are much higher something could take me out.

I love biking! Hence the low desire to die. I feel so much better all day after biking.

I am also biking in Kansas City Missouri though where drivers will directly threaten to kill me.

This stemmed from me joking with a friend that it is unfortunate that flying is so safe because I always want to die when I’m on plane.

A little detail I liked was Tarima specifying something about destroying her father’s auditory cortex. It answered the question of why a telepathic species would need sign language. In humans, even when we imagine voices or use an internal voice it goes through the auditory. So, it makes sense that a telepathic species might use it’s auditory context to “hear” thoughts.

Are these people even watching the show? (probably deliberately disingenuous)

Ake sits up and also wears shoes when things are serious. It a consistent visual cue. I’d be as mad as they were if cadets were dying and she were laying back in the chair just shrugging it off, but that’s not at all what is happening. Part of her character is that she is serious only to the extent the situation requires, and I think that casual attitude makes sense for someone who has been around for hundred’s of years.

Well now I want them to release it in print.

I was worried that this could make bitcoin seem useful but other people in here are explaining why bitcoin would still be an awful solution for this.

So… are we going back to cash and checks? Will people need to mail envelopes of cash to furry vore artists?
